Krishna Lal Adhikari

Death and legacy Adhikari died from tuberculosis three years later whilst in prison. While on his deathbed, the guards took him for a sunbath; they asked Chandra Shumsher to release him but he declined. It is said that the same day, Adhikari wrote on the ground: "Doom for the Ranas".

KP Sharma Oli, Prime Minister of Nepal beginning in 2015, recognized Krishna Lal Adhikari as one of the martyrs who helped end the authoritarian government. Tinlal Park in Manthali, Ramechhap, is named after Adhikari, alongside revolutionary Gangalal Shrestha and politician Pushpalal Shrestha. Adhikari was praised as the first "literary martyr" in Nepal.

Makaiko Arkai Kheti is a book based on Adhikari which was later adapted into a play; it deals with the author's search for freedom of speech.
